A bud of mine has a '99 T/A that has a best ET to date of 12.99 - my svo can't beat that yet.

I would always get just the "well he has a 4 banger, no need to race him" talk, then on the way to the strip with my local club I ran my buddies 95 GT with exhaust and what not from about 50-80mph, and stayed pretty close with him, the next thing he said to me when he and i got out was that he needed to have a ride in the svo. So I gave him a straight line demo, and a turn demo.

I was at a friends house and was telling a guy there about my car. He's had a 90 GT and a 95 GT before and was asking if mine was a GT. I told him it was a 4 cly turbo and he looked at me like ohh I'm sorry that sucks why dont you have a GT.

IDK if I believe you stomped a Viper ... but I hate 'Vette drivers. They think they're such hot s h i t!

 

[FknBadFkr]

Most Viper and Vette owners are ass's...but the Vette guys tend to be more human and know when they get beat..i actualy compare the Viper guys to the Local GTstang owners..lol...full of all sorts of excuses..the viper isnt much faster than the vette and the vett will normaly get them good off the line thanks to Trac control and such....................Hal
